We look at the division of 742488 by 79 
We want to figure out the number of times 742488 can be divided by 79.

Moving on to step 1:
79 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 79

On to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 79, we get 0 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 0 from 74.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 74, then carry on: 742 / 79

On to step 3:
742 divided by 79 is 9 with a remainder of 31.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 711 from 742 to get 31.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 314 / 79

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 314 by 79, we get 3 and a remainder of 77.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 93.0
If we subtract 237 from 314, we get 77.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 77 and repeat the process: 778 / 79

Advancing to step 5:
778 divided by 79 is 9 with a remainder of 67.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 939.0
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 711 from 778.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 67 and continue: 678 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 678 by 79, we get 8 and a remainder of 46.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9398.0
Subtract 632 from 678 to get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
79 goes into 460 5 times with a remainder of 65.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9398.5
If we take 395 away from 460, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
79 can be fit into 650 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9398.58
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 632 from 650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
79 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9398.582
Subtracting 158 from 180 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 10:
220 divided by 79 is 2 with a remainder of 62.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9398.5822
Deduct 158 from 220 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 9398.5822, with a leftover of 0.00062.
